The VIN would need to be programmed via a capable scan tool that can do programming,
diagrams 1,2 below are the procedures for the ECM removal, you can see there are a long list of requirements and initialization procedures to do, and this is listed using the Toyota Techstream which is the OEM factory scan tool which is gone over in diagrams 3,4. Programming is something that requires experience and training. We spend thousands on scan tools and specific software, along with the hardware that goes along with it to interface into the vehicles network.

Go through Jakes videos, he does a lot of programming and electronic diagnostics. He has many videos and goes through the process of programming in some videos, but you can learn a lot from him.
But also access to service info like what is posted below is absolutely necessary, each manufacturer has their own processes and procedures that need to be followed to the letter or you can end up with a bricked module that cannot ever be used or accessed again, which is why I mentioned sending the ECM out to a tuning company to have it done.
Instead of tuning, get into learning automotive electronic diagnostics, it's much more interesting. Learn how to use an oscilloscope and really get into CAN bus networking, you will enjoy it.
